Thursday 7 November 2024.
Day 988 of #Russia's war in Europe, and the continent's leaders meet today not knowing if the President of the biggest member of NATO is now a friend or foe.

These are still crucial times for #Ukraine and for all of us.
Welcome. Read my daily thread..
#Kyiv and #Odesa were the main targets overnight in #Russia's attack, with damage to both cities.

More on that in forthcoming posts, but first the link back to the start of yesterday's thread.
Not many views, but they missed some good stories!

There was a discussion on here yesterday about loss of followers. Probably some bots, but there has been a mini exodus from X-itter. I'm now down 250.

To repeat, I am on🔵 - Sky
People had trouble finding me, though it is the same @ name. If you cannot find me, drop me a DM.
Still #Russia throws bodies at #Ukraine on the front line, quite literally. Another 1,400 sacrificed for Putin's imperialistic dream.

Some other categories ticking up a little too. 10 x tanks, 8x special equipment and 78 vehicles, though these are mostly small motorised bikes. Image
One man was injured in #Odesa.

Luckily, the 30 year old was the only victim when an 11-storey building and numerous cars and a gas pipeline were damaged.

#Russia's attack drones swarmed the southern city, with falling debris a regular problem. Image

The #UK has sanctioned 56 more people and entities helping #Russia's military machine.

28 companies are targeted including the Russian mercenary group "Africa Corps".

Now to #Kyiv, where there was even more damage than in #Odesa.

The air alert lasted all night (more than 8 hours)
Six districts of the city were affected by falling debris or drone strikes.

UAVs flew low over #Ukraine's capital today and one block suffered a direct hit.

In #Kyiv, only two injuries are reported after the night attack. Some people had become a little blasé about the sirens, but with #Russia's improved models and density of attacks, no-one takes a chance any more and heads to shelters.

Much later than usual, #Ukraine's air force released details of the overnight attack and it was a big one!

106 killer drones were fired by #Russia.

74 were shot down and 25 stopped with EW.
No news of any returning to Russia nor #Belarus, so 7 hit Ukrainian territory. Image
#Russia's drone attack also caused problems in two more of #Ukraine's oblasts.

Emergency power outages were applied in #Zhytomyr and #Rivne regions.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A reminder that the EU summit is underway in #Budapest.

A picture can say a thousand words. The "Orb" trying to push #Ukraine into a corner?

Some rumours that the Budapest Barrel may get Trump to speak via video-link at the session. That would not be appreciated by most! Image
Oh how sad..

A homophobe from #Russia is said to have insulted Ladyboys in #Thailand.

They had the last laugh. The guy is now relying on Thai doctors and nurses as he lies in hospital.
An employee at a gas (petrol) station has been killed in #Sumy region.

#Russia's drones hit a high rise building as well as the service station. Railway infrastructure was also damaged and a woman aged 53, a worker for rail company Ukrzaliznytsia, was also injured.

#StopRussia
Remarkable details reported by @ASTRA_PRESS
on how ineffective and costly their frontline is in the war with #Ukraine.

The first graphic is a translation of the report, showing a #Russia Z blogger admitting infantry last under a month because they throw in untrained soldiers. Image

#Zaporizhzhia has been hit by more aerial bombs.

Another hospital and more residential buildings were struck.

There are wounded, but numbers have not been given.
#RussiaIsATerroristState Image

Videos now coming in from #Zaporizhzhia.

Five workers in the hospital are among the injured.

A reminder, the west can stop, or massively reduce these aerial/glide bomb attacks, but can't be bothered to do so.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Zaporizhzhia

Hospital hit by #Russia as well as another apartment block.

Five hospital workers known to be injured.

Deliberate or accidental?

Did President of #Romania, Klaus Iohannis, deliberately deliver a sly snub to #Hungary's PM?
Viktor Orbán was left waiting for a while - I mean come on, he's difficult to miss!
#Ukraine's people don't lose their sense of humour.

During #Russia's drone attack last night, someone ordered a taxi to travel 2km to tackle a "Shakhed" 😂

It's not known if the cab completed its mission 😉 Image

#Zaporizhzhia UPD

Four people are known to have died in #Russia's latest attack on civilians.

Some locals say their relatives are still missing and thought to be trapped under rubble. In the last half hour two people were rescued.

@JoeBiden you're still President. Act NOW!
#Ukraine has urged NATO partners to create a "Humanitarian Shield" along its western border. @rustem_umerov was speaking at the SE Europe Def Ministers' conference.

🇺🇦Dep DM Serhiy Boev pleaded with members to speed up transfer of their old Soviet stock.

Some good people in #Russia

Military are angry that they lost a lot of equipment (Starlinks, radios etc) when a warehouse caught fire. They are certain it was arson as "there was not even wiring" in the building.
OMG 🤦‍♂️
Stop broadcasting live (unchallenged) the words of a terrorist, wanted war-criminal.

Both UK's main news channels again pander to Putin, show his Valdai speech live.

So in 1942 you'd have shown Hitler live, yes?

Putin lies all the time. Broadcast only factchecked clips
#Sweden has judged its safety could be at risk if it went ahead with off shore windfarms.

14 were planned, but security experts fear it will hinder spotting submarines and hamper radar in the Baltic Sea, just 300 miles from #Kaliningrad.

A whole host of prominent Russiandeaths reported today:

1) Ochur-Suge Mongush - the sadist who castrated a #Ukraine POW

2) Aleksei Milchakov - self-avowed Nazi "I like cutting ears off"

3) Pavel Klimenko - just the 7th Major General to be killed during #Russia's invasion. Image

#RussiaIsCollapsing

Shares are falling astronomically in some of #Russia's well established companies.

The price kept on falling after this post. Samolet is now worth only 1/4 of its value at the start of the year.

Already ten of #Russia's attack drones are in #Ukraine.

Some are heading towards #Kyiv from #Chernihiv oblast.
Hits in #Odesa.

A school in the Slobidka district and residential buildings have been hit.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

Here is the new school in #Odesa targeted by #Russia tonight.

Multiple missiles and then attack drones were fired by the Terrorist State.

#StopRussia Image
A 66 year old joint US, Israeli and Russian national, has admitted illegally transferring hundreds of thousands of semi-conductors to #Russia's military enterprises.

Ilya Kahn faces up to 20 years in prison.

Just one coffee came today, from @PatrickCodring2

But I must also mention the monthly subscription from @NekhayShchastyt, although they appear to be one of those who has exited Muskovy's platform.
Hope he found me on...
Only two injuries reported by officials in #Odesa. The school damaged was a famous 125 year old lyceum, although it had been recently refurbished.

Expect updates in the morning. Image

Aerial bomb launched towards #Vovchansk in north #Kharkiv region.
And finally for today's thread, still 5 drones flying over #Ukraine. Others may yet follow.

But that's all for today.
I've been told my posts here are very hidden today and my page on 🟦s ky is also tough to pin down 🤷‍♂️

C'est la vie. Sleep well everyone 🫂

Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.

As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?

Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.

If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:

The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.

Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."

Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.

Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.

On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:

100% record in air defence overnight, according to #Ukraine.

Of 83 attack drones fired by #Russia, 61 were shot down by #Ukraine with the other 22 decoys.

I did report a fire in #Sumy last night, but that and damage in #Kharkiv #Poltava + #Kirovohrad were from falling debris. Image

Good morning world, on Day 1076 of #Russia's genocidal war on #Ukraine

It's now 14 days since Trump's inauguration & no peace deal, but his "peace envoy" Kellogg is expected to visit both aggressor and defender soon.

Here's Monday's daily thread. All you need to be in the know
Daily🧵views were slightly up over the weekend, which is heartening as it's a critical time.

#Ukraine is starting to hurt #Russia logistically, while Putin responds by killing civilians, confident he'll soon get a Trump-pass.

Read Sunday's news here:
While #Ukraine hurt #Russia infrastructure during the night (covered at the end of last night's thread), the terrorist state still has success with its own drone attacks.

More than 11% got through 🇺🇦defences overnight, with 38 of 71 UAVs being stopped and 25 likely decoys. Image

Sunday 19 January is Day 1061 of #Russia's all-out war in #Ukraine. We are also just 2 weeks away from the 4,000th day since #Moscow's initial invasion with the start of its illegal takeover of #Crimea

Welcome to another daily thread with all the news you need in one place 💙💛
Thankfully a quieter start to Sunday than yesterday, which means I get a later start today.

Saturday was all about #Russia's double ballistic attack which brought death to 2 #Ukraine cities.
Catch up on that and all yesterday's stories here⬇️

#Russia's overnight attack was less intense, but still, two attack drones slipped through the net according to #Ukraine's air defence figures.

43 of 61 UAVs were destroyed, with 15 decoy/simulation drones posing no threat and one still flying this morning. Image

Hello on Day 1054 of #Russia's terrorist campaign in #Ukraine.

I've been working for a while today, tidying up loose ends, but a late start to the daily thread - the only feed you need for all the important news and analysis.

So a lot to catch up on, let's go again!
Normally I pin the first post of the thread on my profile page, but for another 24 hours the pinned item is about the auction for a truly unique item - please check it out

So, it's even more important I post a link back to yesterday's thread. Here we are
#Ukraine's air defence team worked very efficiently last night and this morning.

#Russia launched 94 drones from four directions.
60 were shot down and 34 more 'simulators' or others were also stopped.

Some houses in #Kharkiv #Sumy and #Poltava regions were damaged by debris. Image

Christmas Day 2024. Day 1036 of the war inflicted on #Ukraine. The third Christmas for Ukrainian people to suffer. Empty chairs at the dinner table, that will never be filled again. Others at the frontline fighting for their lives and the life of the country.

It's the daily🧵
So Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to those celebrating.

A special shout out too, to those working this special day. Also working today, emergency workers in #Ukraine after another massive missile attack

Before that, catch up on yesterday's news here
Thank you to all those who've sent me Christmas messages and bought me coffee - I will round up the sponsors' roll of honour later today.

But first the grim, but expected, news of #Russia's missile attack carried out this Christmas morning.
